Nickelodeon and THQ Nordic have announced the return of video games based on some of Nick's most popular titles that will be re-released starting this year.

“The appetite for Nickelodeon content old and new continues to grow and it’s exciting to bring our beloved content to new audiences through this partnership with THQ Nordic,” said Nickelodeon's Jon Roman, senior vice president of toys.

“These titles were popular when they were first released and we can’t wait for fans around the world to rediscover their favorites.”

"We are very proud of signing this agreement, which was originally executed by the 'former' THQ Inc," said THQ Nordic's Adrienne Lauer, VP of digital sales & business development in the Americas. "We believe the combination of strong licenses and solid, crisp gameplay was one of THQ Inc’s trademark strategies, and we intend to continue this tradition.

"I am confident we chose one of the strongest partners for doing just that. It is a perfect fit for our “asset care” strategy: bringing back fan-favorites, continuing to support legacy games and make them available on current and even next-gen platforms.”

The full list of titles that we'll see brought back to life is below, and their "on-shelf availability," to be announced in the next few months, suggests they'll be getting a retail release.
